Chapter Chatter

April, the month of new beginnings with crocus and daffodils pushing the winter crust out of the way to break out of hibernation. Life has returned to the earth once again. After a long, cold winter there are necessary tasks to bring everything back to normal.

We held our first GATHERING in hangar 15 (Bud Davies hangar) and had a very good turnout. As we move forward in the year, we are looking for even more attendees, presentations and lots of fellowship.

Over a third of the chapter responded to the survey we sent out. Happy so many of you took the time to share your opinion with the board. It helps us when planning our roadmap and action items. Your involvement will be paramount to maintain the exceptional quality of our chapter. Look for opportunities to serve and be part of the evolution as we address the action items.

The first Fly-out will be on the LAST TUESDAY (4/30) to Bremerton KPWT. Great buffet and an easy flight. Come meet up and fly down together or just meet up at KPWT. (1000-1400 $13.50 adults $10.50 seniors & kids) Hint: Take your dessert first and then get your meal. Desserts go fast.

Looking out toward the horizon and planning where to go and what to do will be in the capable hands of the board of directors. If you would like to participate, please join us. BOD meetings are the Friday one week before the last Saturday. 4/19 5/17 6/21 7/19 8/23 9/20 10/18 11/22 12/20.

Based on the survey results, the items for immediate action are PANCAKE FLY-IN (84% approval) followed by Obtaining a Hangar (68% approval).

Both of these programs will require the membership to take a role in achieving these objectives. The key to success are VOLUNTEERS (you) taking the reins and accomplishing the task. Just like flying a plane, create a plan, take-off, communicate, execute, land and log it in the books. Along the way, we create a squawk list for improvements, corrections or changes.

Are you ready to TAKE-OFF and embrace the season and change?
